What Operating System are you running?
Check you have the latest drivers for your graphics card, you can check the manufacturers website for this. Also check that the card is inserted correctly into the motherboard.

Yeah need more info on the card model and the drivers version.

VPU RECOVER significantly reduces the number of system crashes caused by graphics hardware hangs. If the display driver detects that the graphics processor has hung, VPU Recover will attempt to reset the graphics processor, eliminating the need for a system reboot and allowing users to continue using their computer without interrupting or losing their work.

My guess is either that your pushing your card too hard, or you don’t have the latest driver version available here.

You can also try the manufacturers drivers, as they are customized specifically for your card, but they aren’t updated as often. In most cases, the ATI drivers should work fine.

Also, in the advanced display options theres an option to shut off VPU Recover. But this may result in a total system crash instead of just a graphics card reset.

I have a 9800XT so if you have any other questions, I may be able to help.
